The Mail Forwarding feature in Gmail can be useful, in case you use different Email Accounts for work, social media and other purposes.

Instead of having to login to multiple accounts, you can forward Gmail Messages to one preferred Email Account that you are more likely to check.

The Email Account that you are forwarding messages to does not necessarily need to be a Gmail Account. You can Auto Forward Emails from Gmail to Outlook, Yahoo and most other Email Clients.

Note: Messages landing in the “Spam Folder” will not be Forwarded.
